Dear ranger16: We are very disappointed to read your review because there seems to be a difference in the facts that you stated. It is not disputed that you personally inspected the BMW and you agreed to the purchase it in its current condition of the BMW. Nothing was mentioned regarding any issues with the windshield, the driver’s door or the deck lid/trunk. Further, as part of our process prior to shipping vehicles out-of-state, we carefully look over the vehicle and make sure that photos by the transport company are taken of the vehicle’s current condition prior to shipment. This is to help resolve potential claims of damage in the transporting of the vehicle. In your case, there were 97 photos taken of the BMW at the time the vehicle was loaded for shipment. An extremely small ding was noted on the driver’s door (normally a $50 to $100 paintless door ding repair vs the near $2,000 estimate you provided) prior to shipment. One would reasonably think that if there was a door ding so large as to require a $2,000 repair, most certainly you and CBB’s representative would have seen it during the visual inspection. It would have also been noted in the photos taken prior to shipment. Yet, there was no noting of such a large door ding in the inspection or the photos. Further, there were absolutely no issues seen or noted with either the windshield or the deck lid/ trunk. When the vehicle arrived in Illinois, an additional 82 photos were taken by the shipper. Again, those photos did not reveal any issues with the windshield or the deck lid/trunk. Our General Sales Manager rightfully offered to pay what he thought was an extremely minor door ding repair but was shocked at the ridiculous near $2,000 repair estimate. The other requested repairs were neither noticed in your inspection and were not noted by the transport both to, and after, shipment to Illinois. Please feel free to contact me at the dealership at your convenience to discuss any of the above issues. Sincerely, Jack Schneider, Owner

Certified Benz & Beemer is not even in my state, and I’d drive to them to buy or sell a car again. Scott Bailey made the process of buying a car so easy and nice that I think I’m spoiled now. If I don’t get More
